This is so cool (well, technically, it's hot!): here's a guide on how to make your own magic fireball. Just don't get burned, okay... Hit play or go to Link [Metacafe] - via Gizmodo, thanks John Wiersma!

i made one and daym!!! it was so cool it didnt burn it was just warm. i did make a mistake of not using cotton string, and that hurt a bit cuz it melted in my hand but not that painful as most people think ^__^

haha levi that was pretty funny. it seems real enough to me, when I saw the beginning of the video I assumed it was ethanol as it burns relatively cool, and really you're only touching the underside of the ball.
